Photos of the Unseelie Ellette Flare & Wrap Skirts, Silk Scarf

Photos of the Unseelie Ellette skirts and square scarf are here! Below is the Flare Skirt, made of the stretch Eco-Poly fabric. The print on this came out nicely vibrant.

Unseelie Ellette Flare Skirt, size large

I can never guarantee that what you'll see on your screen is 100% accurate to real life, but I'm trying my best to make sure the photos' colors match what I'm seeing.

The Flare skirt has a more saturated print. I got the large size, though I wonder if I should have gotten the medium as the waistband sometimes kind of floats up when I sit down, but if I did it might be too tight around my hips and butt. Make sure you get the size that will fit your natural waist because this waistband is made for sitting right at the waist and not resting on the hips below it. The waistband is straight up-and-down, and does not have curvature that would make it fit properly on  curvy hips that way.
My waist hovers around 30"-31", just fyi.

Next, is the Unseelie Ellette Wrap Skirt.

Unseelie Ellette Wrap Skirt in Matte Crepe fabric

The wrap skirt I really like because it's so full as well as adjustable, but the two issues I noticed were a less saturated print on the matte crepe fabric, and it had quite a bit of static cling.  I was wearing nylons, so that may have done it. Now I wonder if perhaps the peachskin jersey wouldn't have that problem so that will be the next sample I order.
There are ways to deal with static, so it's not the end of the world, and there is a good amount of the print that shows through the back as well so that’s a bonus that makes up a bit for the less saturated printing.

The below photo shows the matte crepe wrap skirt draped on top, with the flare skirt on bottom so you can see the comparison in print quality and colors.

I also discovered a few other ways to wear the wrap skirts!

Unseelie Ellette Wrap Skirt - worn as an asymmetrical dress

It would work best on small people (my mannequin is a size 4-6) and I wouldn't trust wearing it without anything underneath, but for beach or festival wear it could come in handy as a last-minute fairy dress if you need one.

Last but not least is the Unseelie Ellette 26” x 26” square scarf in silk habotai. You can see the print on the silk has a much warmer tone to it.

The print quality is great but it will be a little darker and warmer, yet more saturation than the matte crepe - at least, more than the crepe used on the skirts. I am not sure if the scarves are made with that same fabric or not. Below you can see how well the print shows through the back on the silk, as well as a comparison photo showing the silk scarf on top of the matte crepe wrap skirt.

I hope this helps you decide! I may be moving these items over into my Shopify or Etsy store before long, and when I do there may be a slight pricing increase.
